General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell weaves together the seemingly disparate lives of several individuals who become entangled in a long-hidden war. The story follows Holly Sykes as she experiences strange events that hint at a reality beyond the ordinary, involving factions known as Horologists and Carnivores engaged in a timeless battle. The narrative explores themes of destiny versus free will, as the concept of a "Script" or preordained events emerges. Author Crispin Hershey, a contemporary writer, also finds himself drawn into the periphery of this conflict. The novel delves into the interconnectedness of lives across time, where memory and the past play crucial roles in the unfolding events.
